New Dolphins receiver Mike Wallace says arriving in Miami has been like going back to school.

Wallace said the Dolphins have a lot of young guys in the locker room who are enthusiastic and spirited, and that reminds him more of his college days at Ole Miss than his four seasons with the Steelers.

Everybody has a college mentality around here,” Wallace told the Miami Herald. “It’s a lot different than where I came from. Everybody’s hungry. Everybody wants to get better, get to where we need to be — that’s a winning record.”

The Dolphins are obviously enjoying themselves this offseason, with Wallace sounding excited, Ryan Tannehill saying Wallace is the fastest player he’s ever thrown to, and Brian Hartline saying the Dolphins have the best receivers in the division. What remains to be seen is whether that college atmosphere translates to winning NFL games.
